so i realized i didn't show you around my new place yet. i've done a lot of work in it (moving things around, cleaning, taking doors off hinges, and getting things situated) and though i'm not completely done, i'm proud enough of it to show it to you.
no need to comment on all the things it's not or all the things it lacks, believe me i'm aware. i've made my peace with it by comparing it not to the apartments i've been living in for the past several years, but to the dorm rooms i lived in for 2 years. in that comparison, this place wins. no roommate! first floor with a gated front yard! cable internet! some other things i like are the full-length mirror, the really tall windows, the extra office room, the brand new washing machine, the 12 foot (?) ceilings, and the handyman who (theoretically) will repair anything i need repaired.
i'll readily admit last year's place was better (as it was an actual apartment) but i'm not scared or bummed to be living here. it's inside the gated school campus. a handyman and a preist (lady) will be living here with me the whole time, but in different "flats." the location is about 5 minutes walk to everything in the city center. as i've been exploring a new part of town i've been in some new sweet shops, two paper stores, a new convenience store, an "american" themed restaurant, and two new grocery stores. in fact, next week i'm going to have to learn where the bus stops are around here because i haven't even taken a bus since i moved in (end of june).
ok, so, it is what it is. my new home sweet home :)
